Ontario's Wastewater Surveillance Initiative came to a sudden end this week, two months before its current budget runs out.
The program, which started as a COVID-19 surveillance measure, has also been used to track mpox, RSV, flu, and other spreadable diseases.
A note at Public health Ontario’s website says that August 1 will be the final update to the COVID-19 Wastewater Surveillance in Ontario report due to the wind down of the provincial program.
